The Bloom of Peaches is a very interesting poison bottle. The color and shape would be enough to warn most sensible people of danger, but I'm sure there were some not-so-bright folks who would still associate "peaches" with "food", regardless of the bottle. Imagine some poor guy taking a drink of that. "Mmm, peaches....slurp...GASP...cyanide!"...thud. Hopefully, that never happened, but it really would have defeated the purpose of the bottle if it did! The "MUST DIE" is also a very cool bottle. My guess would be some kind of vermin poison (bugs, rats, etc.). Quite unusual, maybe it was a simple, yet attention-getting sales pitch for the product. Again, great collection. You have some real beauties! Jim
